Cheesy Potatoes

These were potentially the yummiest and easiest potato side dish I've ever made. Using Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, instead of a colby or cheddar definitely made a difference! There was plenty to share and everyone loved them! I'm so sad I forgot to take a picture. The potatoes weren't browning, so I ended up turning on the broiler for a few minutes and it worked perfectly!

1/2 cup butter

30 ounces frozen hash browns, thawed

1/2 cup grated parmesan

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt

1/2 teaspoon seasoned pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan, combine butter and half and half. Stir over medium heat until butter is melted. Place potatoes, cheese and seasonings in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Pour butter mixture over top of potatoes and stir lightly to mix. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and golden brown.
